Moscow 'Better Prepared' Than NATO for Large-Scale War. the Swedish Defence Research Agency concluded after running simulations.​



"Despite NATO's elevated military spending and its positioning of troops further eastward and closer to Russia, Russia still has the edge in the event of a major conflict, the Swedish Defence Research Agency concluded after running simulations. NATO has shortcomings in its preparedness: its member states don't practice enough, while its forces are geographically dispersed and have very different military capabilities. All this means that Russia has an edge in the event of a large-scale war in Sweden's immediate geopolitical neighbourhood, the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) has assessed in a report.

“If Russia attacked the Baltics at short notice, they have a pretty good prospect of succeeding with it,” Pallin noted. Despite NATO's elevated military spending and an increasingly advanced position near Russia, there has been no major change in the balance of power, according to the FOI. “In general, the picture is quite similar both in terms of both availability and quality of the forces. You have an advanced presence now that you didn't have back in 2014, which is gradually improving. And there are more fairly simple measures that can improve the odds for the Western side”, Pallin noted. However, NATO's strength doesn't need to increase further. Instead, the forces must be able to act faster against a number of different attack threats, the FOI assessed."


do you agree with the Swedish Defence Research Agency´s main conclusion ? and have to be done fist of all in order to keep Moscow imperial aggression in-checked ?
 
Russia's entire GDP is sometimes smaller than the city of Tokyo. A handful of years ago they gave up on repairing their one aircraft carrier because it was too expensive. Russia does not have the economy for any kind of prolonged modern warfare. Most of their military tech is still Vietnam era. The EU could easily defeat them if they needed to. It wouldn't take much for western Europe to mobilize for war. They've been doing it for thousands of years; they can do it again.

Russia knows better. They understand their place in the world even if you do not.

Exactly
A long term war against NATO takes $$$$$
Russia could attack the Baltics, but their economy could not sustain a long term engagement.
The lengthy Afghanistan War helped lead to the fall of the Soviet empire.

This is no surprise and in fact the swedes ate probably being kind to Nato.
NATO has long since ceased to be a real military force and instead has become an international pork barrel where billions of dollars disappear into private pockets. The result of course is the inevitable deterioration of the once high standards of readiness that NATO had become so well-known for. Trump realistically pointed this out and was positively lambasted for it by both sides who are replete with special interests grifting money off of the NATO funds. Misdirected funding that is supposed to prepare NATO members for military happenstance and instead buys cars and mansions for corrupt politicians cannot help anyone in a real military conflict.

Maybe NATO should stop threatening Russia.

The Swedish Defence Research Agency. Never heard of them.

Maybe Russia should stop attacking the Americans, attacking and threatening the Ukraine, messing in US elections and generally behaving as the assholes of the world.
Russia is more of a cyber and nuclear threat than a military threat
 
And some music video:


And this is what Swedens really think about another war against Russia:

So, you still believe Russia got Trump elected. Lol. Totally debunked.
Conversely you believe anyone who thinks the most recent election was stolen from Trump, is a crazed extremist asshole.

You certainly believe whatever the establishment media tells you.

NATO is a sad joke and the U.S. should get out of it.

NATO is a powerful military force that has kept Europe at peace for 75 years

Given Europes history of wars, that is quite an accomplishment.

Swedish Defence Research Agency - Totalförsvarets ... - FOI

The US is doing the attacking and covertly undermining foreign elections the world over.

So you two have it exactly opposite of the truth.
